race bike, I'd wager most racers take better care of their bikes and most I know at least change the oil frequently.

I wouldn't buy either. But if they were the last two bikes on earth and I had to buy one it would be the race bike.

+ one. Most racers are good with maintenance and rebuild anything that seems weak. Look to buy from experienced racers though and make sure their bike has been professionally prepped....

Much rather get a racebike. Chances are, most racers are somewhat meticulous and take care of their bikes....for the most part. Most stunters seem to think its cool to have a shitty, dented bike and to be honest, most look like scumbags that couldnt give a shit about the bike, much less lying to you about the condition its in.

I think I'd build my own motorcycle out of bicycle parts and a riding lawn mower before I'd buy an ex stuntbike
